CHIEF MINISTER CHAIRS MIZORAM STATE LEVEL POLICE CONFERENCE ON DEBRIEFING OF DGs/IGPs CONFERENCE

#ZONEWS Aizawl December 19, 2025: The Mizoram State Level Police Conference on the debriefing of the DGs/IGPs Conference was held today at the DGP Conference Hall, Police Headquarters, Khatla, under the chairmanship of the Chief Minister, Shri Lalduhoma. The Home Minister, Shri K. Sapdanga, was also present.

The conference was convened to review and deliberate upon the outcomes of the 60th National Level DGP/IGP Conference, which was held in November this year at Raipur, Chhattisgarh, under the leadership of the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi.

Addressing the conference, the Chief Minister stated that the National Level DGP/IGP Conference had formulated 107 recommendations aimed at strengthening and modernising policing in India. He expressed satisfaction that several of these recommendations are already being implemented in Mizoram. He added that efforts would be made to implement other recommendations to the extent feasible, for which support from the Central Government would also be required.

The Chief Minister lauded the achievements of the Mizoram Police over the past two years and acknowledged that, due to their dedicated efforts, drug abuse has significantly declined. While complete eradication remains challenging, he noted that the supply chain of drugs has been substantially curtailed. He further appreciated the police and their associates for their effective action against arecanut trafficking, which has led to the highest-ever local market rate of Mizoram Arecanut produce.

He informed that an amount of Rs. 3.18 crore has been received under the Police Modernisation Scheme, and an additional fund of Rs. 21.276 crore has also been approved. With this funding, several essential police requirements will be procured, including three bulletproof vehicles. The Chief Minister specifically acknowledged the efforts of the Director General of Police, Pu Sharad Agarwal, in securing these funds and expressed his appreciation.

The Chief Minister also highlighted the State Government’s broader vision for police modernisation. Among the key initiatives is the issuance of the Notification for the establishment of the Directorate of Prosecution, as mandated under the newly enacted BNSS Act, 2023. He remarked that while some of the National Police Conference recommendations can be implemented promptly, others would need to be prioritised based on the State’s financial capacity.

The Home Minister, Pu K. Sapdanga, in his address, emphasized that policing is not limited to punishing offenders alone, but is fundamentally aimed at ensuring public safety and social harmony. He stated that while continuing to monitor traditional forms of crime, the police must also be prepared to tackle emerging and contemporary challenges. He expressed his appreciation for the commendable work being carried out by the Mizoram Police.

During the conference, the Director General of Police, Pu Sharad Agarwal, gave a detailed presentation on the recommendations of the National Conference. He highlighted that the National Police Conference had laid out a roadmap aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, focusing on internal security, effective use of modern technologies in policing, improved preparedness for disaster management, enhanced use of technology for women’s safety, and readiness to address evolving geopolitical challenges. He also outlined the various requirements of the Mizoram Police Department for effective implementation of these recommendations.

The meeting was attended by Pu Vanlalmawia, Home Secretary, senior officials from Central and State security agencies operating in Mizoram, and other concerned officers. Superintendents of Police from all districts participated in the conference through online mode.

The conference concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Pu C. Lalnunmawia, IPS, DIG (Headquarters).
